Till-; VOICE OF WINTEU. I come my breath is on the blast ! A wreath of clouds is o'er me ; Ami the loveliest flowers on earth, as I past, Have withered and shrunk before me. Ihavc found the earth in its richest blood, I come to gather its pride to the tomb; I have found it all with jov elate, I come to make it desolate. The leaves of the trees arc rusting and gay. The sheen of the rivers is bright as the spring, I will blow those rustling leaves away, I will stop the streamlet's murmuring: I will strip of its robe the towering oak. Its roots shall be torn, and its limbs be broke ; I will howl through the waste, and the wild beasts there, At the sound of my voice, shall shrink to their lair. The cnele shall close her soaring wing, ATMpek her nest on the eyerie high ; And eVr songster cease to sing. At th sound of my ominous rushing by f I will bowsiothc dust the gayest f.nvers. And strifOf their pride the fairest bowers ; I will clothe the earth in white as I come The winding sheet of her wintry tomb.

SEIIMON I. THE NATURE AND OCCASIONS OF INTEMPERANCE. Proverbs, xxiii. Z9 35. Who hath wo? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause ? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine ; they that to seek mixed wine. JLook not thou upon the wine when it is red, it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moVeth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eye shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall titter perverse t : ngs. Yea, thou shalt be as he that litth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick ; they have beaten me, and I felt it not : when shall I awake ? I will seek it yet again.
Tins is a glowing description of the sin cf intemperance. None but the pencil of inspiration, could have thrown upon the canvass so many and such vivid traits of this complicated evil, in so shoi t a compass. It exhibits its woes and its sorrows, contentions and babblings, and wounds and redness of eyes; its smiling deceptions in the beginning, and serpent bite in the end; the helplessness cf its victims, like one cast out upon the deep; the
dinger of destruction, like that one who sleeps upon the top of the mast ; the unavailing lamentations of the captive, and the giving up of hope and effort. i They have stricken me, and I was not sick; they have beaten m -, and I felt it not: when shall I awake ? I will seek it yet again;" again be stricken and beaten; again float upon the deep, and sleep upon the mast. No sin has fewer apologies than intemperance. Tho suffrage, of the world is against it ; and yet there is no sin so naked in its character, and whose commencement and pi j ;rcss is indicated by so many signs, cono. n.Mg which there is among mankind such pi found ignorance. All reprobate drunken r.css ; and yet, not one of the thousands who fall into it, dreams of danger when he enters ;hr: way that leads to it. The soldier, approaching the deadly breach, and seeing rank after rank of those who preceded him swept away, hesitates so in times, and recoils from certain death. Bui men behold the effects upon others, of goi ig in given courses, they see them begin, ad at.ee, and end, in confirmed intemperance, an.! unappallcd rush heedlessly upon the same : uin. A pirtof this heedlessness arises from the undefined nature of the crime in its early stages, and the ignorance of men, concerning Wiat may be termed experimental indications ot its approach. Theft and falsehood arc definite actions. Hut intemperance is a state of internal sensation, and the indications may exist long, and multiply, and the subject of them not bo aware that they are the signs of intemperance. It is not unfi equent, that men become irreclaimable in their habits, without suspicion of danger. Nothing, therefore, Seems to be more important, than a description of this broad war, thronged by so manv -travellers, that the temperate, when they Come in sight of it, miy know their danger Sc pass by it anil turn away. What I shrtU deliver on this subject, has
hevr projected tor several years, has been delaved by indisposition, and the pressure of other labors, and is advanced now without personal or local reference. Intemperance is the sin of our land, and, frith our boundless prosperity is coming in vi! on us like a flood ; and if anything shall dcf.- it t;ae hopes of the world, which hang upon our experiment of civil liberty, it is that river of fire, which is rolling through the land, destroying the vital air, anj extending aron-.H an atmosphere of death. ft is proposed in this and the subsequent discourses, to consider the nature, the occasions, tho signs, the evils, and the remedy o! intemperance- In this discourse we shall Con si Ur. rhr .X'arurr and Ocean ins of In'nrfier nnrr. .

supersede the recular operations oTvthc
mental faculties and the bodily orgarrs. However much a man may consume of ardent spirits, if he can command his mind, his utterance, and his bodily members, he i3 riot reputed intemperate. And yet, dt inking within these limits, he may be intemperate in respect to inordinate desire, the quantity con sumcd, the expense incurred, the present effect on his health and temper, and moral sensibilities, and what is more, in respect to the ultimate and inevitable results ol bodily and mental imbecility, or sottish drunkenness. God has made the human body to be sus tained by food and sleep, and the mind to be invigorated by effoct and the regular healthfulness of the moral system, and the cheering influence of his moral government And whoever, to sustain the hotly, or invigorate the mind, or cheer the heart, applies habitually the stimulus of ardcut spirits, does violence to the laws of his nature, puts the whole system into disorder, and is intemperate long before the intellect falters, or amuscle is unstrung. The effect of ardent spirits on the braiiV and the members of the body, is among the
last effects of intemperance, and the least destructive part of the sin. It is the moral ruin which it works in the soul, that gives it the denomination of giant wickedness. If all who are intemperate, drank to insensibility, and on awaking, could arise from the debauch with intellect and heart uninjured, it would strip the crime of its most appalling evils. But among the woes which the scriptures denounce against crime, one is, "wo unto them that are mighty to diink wine, and men of strength to consume strong drink." These are captains in the bands of intemperance, and will drink two generations of youths into the grave, before they go to lie down by their side. The Lord deliver us from stronghcadcd men, who can move the tongue when all arc mute around them, and keep the eye open when all around them sleep, and can walk from the scene of riot, while their companions must be aided or wait until the mornIt is a matter of undoubted certainly, that habitual tippling is worse than periodical
drunkenness. The poor Indian, who, once a month, drinks himselfcf all but simple breathing, will out-live for years the man who di inks little and often, anchis not, perhaps, suspected of intemperance. Thc use of ardent spirits daily, as ministering to cheerfulness, or bodily vigor, ought to be regarded as intemperance. No person, probably, evey did, or ever will, receive ardent spirits into his system once a day, and fortify his constitution ag&inst its deleterious effects, or excr cise such discretion and self government, as that the quantity will not be increased, and bodily infirmities and mental imbecility be the result, and, in more than half the instances, inebriation. Nature may hold out long rgainst this sapping and mining of the constitution, which daily tippling is carrying on ;
but, fu st or last, this foe of life will bring to
the assault enemies of its own formation, be lore vh se powers the feeble and the mighty' will be alike unable to stand. All i,uch occasional exhilaration of the
spirits by intoxicating liquors, as produces levity and foolish jesting, and the loud laugh,
is intemperance, whether we regard those precepts which require us to be sober-mind
ed, or the effect which such exhilaration and
lightness has upon the cauc of Christ, when
witnessed in professors of religion. The
cheerfulness of health, and excitement of industiv, and social intercom se, is ail which nature demands, or health or purity permits. Vresort to ardent spirits as a means of xin
viiroratinrr the intellect, or of nleasurable sen
sation, is also intemperance. It is a distrain! f donation, in the neighborhood of Abram Hoi

The mind has its limits of intellectual application, and the heart its limits of feeling, and the nervous system of healthful exhilaration; and whatever you in through stimulus, by way of anticipation, is only so much intellectual and vital power cut off at the latter end of life.
